Which Spanish course should you take?

The best Spanish course for you depends largely on your your background and prior experience as well as your own confidence level with what you have learned in previous courses. On this page we try to help guide you to that course, but if you have any questions at all, please don’t hesitate to contact the Department!

Credit by exam scores and equivalencies

Figuring out your placement

If you are not bringing in college credit, or if you aren’t sure those credits represent your abilities, consider taking ourSpanish Placement Guide Survey. The survey asks about your experiences, and will recommend a course for you at the end. Remember that these are just suggestions. If you would prefer to take a placement test, we offer the WebCAPE test for $10. Please see the WebCAPE page for the details – and remember to save or screenshot your score for your advisor!

If during the first week of classes you feel that the course is too low or too high for you, please speak with a member of our faculty to help find the best course for you:

IMPORTANTNOTE: Our classes are designed with student success and proficiency in mind, and are designed to maximize your learning at each level. There are many components to the overall grade, which allows for greater overall success even if you do not excel in all areas. However, remember that they do require a certain commitment to stay up-to-date with the syllabus and not get behind.
